Lot 2 - Helicopter tour of Kent
Ending bid £260
A fantastic sightseeing helicopter tour of Kent for one person.
In September 1939, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain declared that Britain was at war with Germany. This left the South East and Dover with a special burden to bear. Only 20 miles from mainland Europe and the enemy, East Kent was the “doorstep of the free world” defending the Allied nations. On a clear day you can see the French coastline, imagine the flashes coming from the muzzles of the enormous guns Nazi Germany had entrenched at Cap-Griz-Nez and Calais. It would only take a minute before the shells would explode across Dover and the surrounding areas. Together with aerial bombardments, naval gunnery and later the Doodlebug and V2 Rockets, this part of the Garden of England became known as Hellfire Corner.
AV8 Helicopters invite you to experience the sights that gave Hellfire Corner it’s name. Take off from Rochester Airport and fly along the famous White Cliffs of Dover. You can see the gun emplacements, shell holes and fly over historic Dover Castle. We progress along the coast to Folkestone where the Battle of Britain Memorial stands out at Capel-Le-Ferne and you get an idea what RAF and Luftwaffe Pilots must have felt in their Spitfires and ME109’s as they battled for supremacy during the Battle of Britain.
We take in Hawkinge, a World War II Fighter Airfield, before turning in-land passing over many other historical sites on the way to view the home of Winston Churchill at Chartwell, then return along the North Kent coast passing the majestic Canterbury Cathederal & return to Rochester.

Parish constables often took their dogs to work for company in the 15th century, but the first use of dogs by the police is believed to be in 1888 when two Bloodhounds were used during the Jack the ripper murders.
In 1914, the Metropolitan Police Service introduced 172 dogs of various breeds to accompany officers on patrol. That year an officer and dog were commended for saving a person from drowning in a lake (and the dog got a new collar!).
In 1938 two Labradors became perhaps the first true police dogs patrolling in Peckham. Following the Second World War, six Labradors were reintroduced to combat crime and in 1948 the first German Shepherd dog was used by the Metropolitan Police Service. The dogs were very successful and numbers grew until, in 1950, there were 90. In 1954 the current 15 acre Metropolitan Police Service Dog Training establishment at Keston was opened; where all dog training courses take place.
Since then the Dog Support Unit has been at the forefront of Police Dog training and has trained instructors and dogs for service worldwide. It is responsible for the training of all Met Police Dogs and regularly runs Home Office Instructional courses for many UK Police Forces and the UK Border Agency. It is constantly looking for new ways to use the special abilities of dogs to improve officer and public safety, detect and prevent crime. Today, around 250 Dogs are currently working across the Metropolitan Police Service for a range of tasks; from searching for drugs, firearms or cash to controlling crowds at football matches or demonstrations.
